LAST UPDATED: 02/27/2013 08:41
The Knesset must express the wide consensus in favor of freeing Israeli agent
Jonathan Pollard from prison in the US, MK Nachman Shai (Labor) wrote in a
letter to temporary Knesset Speaker Binyamin Ben-Eliezer Tuesday.
Shai
asked Ben-Eliezer to put the matter on the Knesset's agenda ahead of US
President Barack Obama's visit next month.
"We need a broad, intensive
public effort to free Pollard," Shai wrote. "It is our duty as MKs to give a
platform to the major efforts in Israel and abroad to free him soon."
